Welcome to Canadian Canoe Routes

Inside, you'll find hundreds of route descriptions, trip reports, gear information and reviews, recipes, tips, tricks and techniques and active discussion forums. In addition there is a wealth of Route Resource Information. All of Canada is included & selected areas of the US.

And of course, the heart & soul of CCR is its members - a large community of paddlers from across the country & even quite a few from other countries - in particular, our neighbour to the south, the US!

Sharing your reports of your canoe & kayak trips is one of the best features of CCR - access info, technical information, trip journals, gps tracks, maps, advice, photos etc. can all be included. If you have your trip in a pdf file, it can be uploaded as is. Please share your experiences & knowledge with all CCR members

This feature-length documentary follows naturalist Bill Mason on his journey by canoe into the Ontario wilderness. The filmmaker and artist begins on Lake Superior, then explores winding and sometimes tortuous river waters to the meadowlands of the river's source. Along the way, Mason paints scenes that capture his attention and muses about his love of the canoe, his artwork and his own sense of the land. Mason also uses the film as a commentary on the link between God and nature and the vast array of beautiful canvases God created for him to paint. Features breathtaking visuals and exciting whitewater footage, with a musical score by Bruce Cockburn. For more background info on this film, visit the NFB.ca blog.

With thanks to Paul Mason, a paddling cartoon to lighten up your week.... The latest Bubblestreet comic strip....

Canoe Trips From our New Routes Database

Drowning River

This is one of a number of routes added to our routes database in the Greenstone area (Geraldton, Longlac, Nakina).

“The Drowning River has been renowned for its Speckled Trout fishery for over a century. Famous Northen Ontario guide, Emile Cote, loved this river, and for good reason: beautiful campsites and portages, lots of fastwater and rapids make this trip a
wilderness canoeist’s dream.
